Hey everybody, hope you’re having a terrific Tuesday and your week has started off nicely! I’m delighted to share a Scrapbook Pal DT inspiration project with you today featuring the Sizzix-Tim Holtz Vault Atomic Retro Thinlits. I am SO in love with this set of dies… probably because I’m retro myself, lol! I created a retro notecard gift set with six 3-1/2″ x 5″ notecards in a coordinating box. This was a really fun project!
Here are shots of the box closed and then open. I hand-cut the box base and lid from CutCardStock Desert Storm cardstock along with panels of Vanilla Bean Brown cardstock for the top and sides. Using most of the dies in the set, I cut a nice variety of the elements in assorted colors using CutCardStock Fruit Punch Pink 4×6 Pearlized Textured, Galax 4×6 Canvas Textured, Yellow Jacket 4×6 Textured, Adobo 4×6 Textured, Seafoam Green 4×6 Canvas Textured, and Habanero Red 4×6 Textured. I embellished the box top a little differently than the cards.
I had several leftover 3-1/2″ x 5″ kraft notecards with envelopes in my stash that my sister sent me years ago, so the cards were a snap to assemble. I cut panels of brown cardstock for the front of each card and used the same placement of the elements but used different colors. I cut inside panels from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock and embellished them with strips and elements, and left them blank to write custom messages. I totally love how this project turned out!
